    3dr Solo Boat operations

    I've seen pictures of flesh injuries from these drones and that is not something I want to risk 30 miles offshore. Safer is better than expediency...in my opinion. A boat can pitch really hard offshore.

    3dr Solo Boat operations

    Thank you it will only get better from here. Ive gone through my steep learning curve and the risky bits should be all worked out now. Im only out a few sets of blades and 1 motor so far and have 2 other drones for spare parts so as long as I keep it out of the water I should be off to a good...

    If its calm out consider using floats and landing beside boat.

    3dr Solo Boat operations

    This is why I let the drone fall into a catch net now. its just too inconsistent to land in the back of a boat. Sure YOU can land on the bow but it pitches more there and next stop is ocean so that is not were I land. just skip to final 10 seconds if all you want to see is crash.

    3dr Solo Boat operations

    This video shows the difference in landing in a "Cup" vs a "Flat" open space on a boat. There may be a few people out there considering boat operations now that we have green cube and I want to point out the obvious. "BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR BOAT TO SEA OR LAKE." LAND AND TAKE OFF OF Your boat a...

    Water Test of 3DR solo

    I coat the stew out of everything in Fluid Film. seems to work great on my boats and so far works well on drones.

    Foating solo. Flying over water

    If you change the safety check to zero using tower it will launch again off the water even if it is rocking as long as it was powered up while stable. without safeties on you could have other problems that would cause a crash. 6" crab pot buoys work very well and have a plastic tube that will...

    Buy a new solo, it´s worth it ?

    which app do you use? I wonder if the gopro hero 4 copies on dhgate would work. I did that with a cheap 360 camera but the telemetry was fisheye in solo so not too useful

    Buy a new solo, it´s worth it ?

    actually one i got for 55 and 59 for other. I may have gotten lucky also, #1 was flawless and #2 was not going past mag interference until i uploaded parameters from my working drone to it using "tower" they were listed as bestbuy returns. I looked it up and apparently bestbuy sells pallets...
